I can tell you what happened to all that obsolete equipment. It went to the dump.
What happens is that somebody higher than the CE decides they need the space (for a new sales office) and they pitch it.
What I've noticed is that TV stations hang on to that equipment because its on the inventory. When I was in TV, I told the management that they should sell it while there is still a market for the equipment. Otherwise it will become so obsolete that NOBODY wants it.
It was well known that the station was cash strapped and I was able to sell some of the equipment to employees (production types) at a fair market price for the station.
I remember the smile on the girl in accounts receivable's face when I brought up a purchaser with a check in his hand and a bill of sale for her to sign.
